The Blind.

A few weeks ago I was presented with the question "what is the good life" which was going to be my topic this week. I had to do some research for myself since the google answers that came up did not satisfy me. I went on yahoo answers and asked 3 questions. Within a matter of minutes people had "answered" my questions. The results did not really surprise me, but they did make me sad. I realized two things: 1. Millions of people spend their time answering questions for other people on yahoo answers, which is a very unique way to spend your time. 2. Millions of people are simply missing everything in life, purpose, true happiness. All things that lead to Jesus.

For me, I have grown up in a Christian home, gone to Christian school and to church my whole life. For the most part, I have been surrounded by Christians and/or good influences. I knew going into this I would get numerous answers that went against my faith, but I did not expect to have my eyes opened to something I rarely think about. When I asked the question, "what is the purpose of this life." someone said "Loving, laughing, learning, earning, realizing." Multiple people said, "Happiness and love." I wondered what these people thought happiness was so I asked "What is true happiness?" I got "Not wanting or needing anything." "true happiness is when you dont care what anybody else thinks of you." And "doing well that which one was meant to do." Only one person had a correct answer and that was "God." All of these people who "answered" my question have it all wrong except for the one person.

The sad thing is that people all around the world are missing not only Jesus, but the purpose of this life. They are missing true happiness, which can only be found in Christ. These people do not realize it because some of them do not know better, but others dissemble because their pride gets in the way of understanding. It reminds me of the Jewish people, Jesus came and went and most of them completely missed it. They are still waiting for his first coming when in reality they should be waiting for his second. It makes me so sad to see people living their lives completely wrong without even knowing it.
